My blessings on that happy place,
Amang the rigs o' barley I
But by the moon and stars so bright,
That shone that hour sae clearly !
She aye shall bless that happy night,
Amang the rigs o' barley.
I hae been blythe wi' comrades dear ;
I hae been merry drinking ;
I hae been joyfu' gathering gear ;
I hae been happy thinking :
But a' the pleasures e'er I saw,
Though they were doubled fairly,
That happy night was worth them a',
Amang the rigs o' barley.
NAE DOMINIES FOR ME, LADDIE.
THE REV. NATHANIEL MACKAY. *
Tune — JVae Dominies for me, Laddie.
I CHANCED to meet an airy blade,
A new-made pulpiteer, laddie ;
Wi' cock'd-up hat and powder'd wig,
Black coat and cuffs fu' clear, laddie.
A lang cravat at him did wag.
And buckles at his knee, laddie ;
Says he, my heart, by Cupid's dart,
Is captivate to thee, lassie.
I'll rather choose to thole grim death ;
So cease and let me be, laddie.
For what ? says he. Good troth, said I,
Nae dominies for me, laddie :
* Minister of Crossmichael, in the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, some
time during the last century. He is not known to have written any other
piece of merit.
